Columba livia
The rock dove is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the "pigeon". Wild rock doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, while domestic and feral pigeons are very variable in color and pattern. There are few visible differences between males and females. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood.
Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild.
